Planning Your Trip

Thailand isn't called the
city of smiles for no good reason, neither the Thais' pride in calling
its nation, Amazing Thailand. Treat yourself to a Thailand car rental holiday
and discover what about the country earned itself the right to be
called amazing, aside from the obvious that the Thais are a smiling
race. Driving a rental car around Thailand lets you see the gradation of
sceneries, culture and lifestyle. Bangkok
is a bustling city, notorious for traffic, street food and shopping
centers interspersed with Buddha monuments. Drive to the province of Chiang Mai
and you'll feel a cooler breeze, a more cultural town and a more serene
lifestyle. Once you get to Ayutthaya, the scenery changes to historical
architectures. And what about the beaches of Phuket and Ko Samui?

Places to See

Thailand
is divided into 5 regions and 76 provinces, each with a distinctive
geographical, cultural and historical flair. It may be convenient to
focus on features that appeal to you when you go on a car rental holiday,
but it is advisable that you experience, or at least glimpse at, the
unique offerings of each place. The capital city, Bangkok, found in
Central Thailand, was voted capital of the country as it represents a
balance of old-world and modernity. It is also the city of great
culinary wonders. There are numerous Buddha temples in Bangkok, the
oldest being Wat Pho, or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha. Park your
car hire outside and offer your petitions in the temple. Not to be
missed are Jatujak Market and the floating market in Damnoen Saduak for
all things Thai - including the world's sweetest tropical fruits. A more
laid-back province is Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand, also known as
the country's cultural capital. It is famous for holding cooking
classes, teaching age-old, spicy Thai recipes.

Going around Thailand

Public transportation may not be wholly
recommended, but it does make for fun and interesting means of going
around. Take the train for example; the train covers a wide expanse, but
what makes it appealing are the friendly locals and the vendors/hawkers
carrying local treats. The tuk-tuk, a three-wheeled motorcycle
with a cab, on the other hand, has been a symbol of Thailand because of
its uniqueness. The safest way for foreign travelers to move around
Thailand is by driving a car hire. A Thailand rent-a-car is incredibly
cheap! You may grovel at the Bangkok traffic jam, but outside the
capital, things get smooth and road tripping makes for a delightful
experience.

From the Airport

The name of Thailand's main airport,
Suvarnabhumi, translated as "golden land", was used in reference to old
accounts telling of a golden kingdom that is found in Southeast Asia.
The Suvarnabhumi Airport is situated in the province of Samut Prakan, 30
kilometers from the capital city of Bangkok. Car rental services are
widely available at the Suvarnabhumi Airport; leading international car
hire agencies like Avis and Hertz are found at the airport, which you
can book through our web site.

Nearby Country

Thailand shares borders with Malaysia. Go on a car rental holiday in Malaysia and wander in tea plantations or get a tan on their beaches or hike the tallest mountain in South East Asia, Kota Kinabalu.
